Positive Tests in Wisconsin

The number of fully vaccinated people in Wisconsin – who tested positive for COVID-19 and were hospitalized – more than doubled from February to July. But Wisconsin Department of Health Services data shows the more contagious delta variant was still an exponentially greater threat to unvaccinated people during those months. The unvaccinated were hospitalized at a rate nearly 4-times higher than the vaccinated – and the risk of dying was 10 times higher for the unvaccinated. About 54% of Wisconsin’s total population is fully vaccinated.
